Brick River is a four piece band based out of Hutchinson , Ks. The band is grounded in the blues and classic rock. It provides dance-able upbeat blues and great classics. Its members come from diverse backgrounds, places and musical styles to play the music they love. They are equally at home with loose, old-school rock, new rock , funk and jazz. The band’s original music runs this gamut as well; equal parts tradition and innovation.
Miraculously, these four men came together in the winter of 2005.The original forming of the band happened because Gordy Pettipas was asked if he could get a band together to play in a local Battle Of The Bands after the original band dropped out of it. The guys got together four times and entered into the battle of the bands against local champs The Boulevard Band. The night ended in a draw. After doing so well there they decided to stay together as a band and see what happened. Now after being together for almost two and a half years, they are regarded by many to be one of the best bands in town.
The band is made up by Gordy Pettipas from Boston , Massachusetts on lead guitar and lead vocals, Jim Slater from Chicago , Illinois on rhythm guitar , Rob Newton from Hutchinson , Kansas on Bass and Benny Agoitia also from Hutchinson , Kansas on Drums. In the summer of 2006 they recorded their demo CD. They recorded a total of 18 songs but decided to make the demo consist of only 3 blues tracks.

Hey brick river !
thanks for adding one of my tunes to your radio. For years my music has been neglected here in Italy, where the blues is considered like a "cat's cry" (awful saying, isn't it ?). Thank God I never gave up and discovered soundclick, eventually.
Well, now I gonna have the fun I deserve (or diserve ? ... damn spelling). More songs will be added soon on my web-page. How about coming around and check it out every now and then ? I'll do the same since I love your sound.
CHEERS folks !
Hey man, I'll be there on Sept 22, 2007 unless something unforseen happens. Save me a place. Might not be playing to many more days. Got news my kidneys are in bad, bad shape, and I may have3-6 months to live. They want me in the hospital, but I prefer to keep on keepin' on... See you on 22nd, and thanks for the good times, Your friend, Bill
